handsfree Typing with EPOC & Dasher

This is a very quick demo of using the EPOC headset with gyromouse to control Dasher. This allows the user to type hands free. The mouse button functions are controlled with facial movements with the EPOC and then handled by NeatTools. This gives full hands free mouse control typing including copy/paste and any other clickable functions. This does not require any training as it uses out of the box EPOC functionality. Dasher is free, as is NeatTools. Sorry for the jumpyness, it is caused by the video software, normally typing like this is very smooth and fast.

Wow, that's crazy. Looks like it takes a lot of getting used to, but its probably like riding a bike once you're used to it.

I'm not exactly sure how Stephen Hawking's system works, but it's probably pretty archaic compared to this, no?

Very nice. Looking forward to more of your demos.

Its really easy to use. The video is jumpy which makes it look more difficult.

Yes this make S'Hawkins system look very difficult to use and outdated.

Very cool, I hadn't realized Dasher was still around. Has anyone done anything new with it? Well besides mind control.
